Water supply and waste disposal

Each establishment and school must be equipped with an adequate supply of hot and cold running water and proper plumbing located within the confines of the premises, separate from a bathroom facility. Each establishment and school shall: 1. Have a safe water supply, approved by the local health authority or the state department of health. 2. Dispose of sewage and other liquid wastes in a sanitary manner, approved by the local health authority or other regulatory body. Wastewater from each portable sink must be emptied and properly disposed of at least once per day when the sink is in use. 3. Dispose of sharps, blood, and other potentially infectious materials following local health authority or department of environmental quality guidelines for blood waste disposal and as outlined in the establishment or school's exposure control plan. 4. Store and collect solid waste to avoid health hazards, rodent harborages, insect breeding areas, and accidents. 5. Have solid waste collected at least once each week, and an adequate number of approved covered containers must be provided for storage of solid waste pending collection. All plumbing in every establishment and school must comply with the state and local plumbing code.
